Really depends on the particular model and when it got refreshed and how much the OEM cares about it more so than the manufacturer.

Sometimes the platforms that the OEMs don't care about are great because the idiot dick swinging engineers who want to hit their KPIs neglect them. Sometimes they're terrible because they get phoned in. The flagship platforms are usually safe but sometimes they put too much bleeding edge tech in them.

Yep that's very true. I always heard good things about the original Chevy Trailblazers, mainly because the motors were extremely reliable and Chevy basically ignored the model until they had to kill it off due to emissions of the inline 6. The 00s Chevy interior was another story, and I hear the transmissions used were either fine or time bombs.
